Beaten, Strangled, Stabbed and Dismembered: 

 That is how a local  woman, was reportedly murdered, recently.  (So sad).

We do not have many murders in small town, NC.  This really rocked our town.

I understand they arrested the murderer in Oregon, USA… about 3,000 miles from here, a few days later.

I guess, it is true, you cannot, out run, a radio.

(Wisdom, from the 1930’s gangster movies).   

I have been upset with, and at times, mad enough to plan murder, but… never seriously considered following through.

So how upset must you be to: Beat, Strangle, Stab and Dismember someone.   (I cannot imagine).

This is demonic behavior.

We see more and more insane, demonic acts, sniper fire killing 5 policemen, 7 more wounded. 

Police blamed for black deaths, when if the black folks had done as requested, they would be fine.  (In jail, but alive).

We blame the guns, the Police, or racism, when the problem is the lack of God in our lives.

We have rejected the Lord in our public and then private lives.   No God in our courts, schools or government.

Then we wonder why there is no justice,  sin is embraced and morality is rebuked.

We need to repent as a country, a nation, a people.

2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, which are called by myname, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Sanity isn’t that far away.  As far as our knees from the floor.  Is it possible for us to return to a sane, God fearing, God  serving  Nation?

YES, WHEN WE LEARN TO PRAY… WHEN WE LEARN TO HUMBLE OURSELVES, WHEN WE SEEK GOD, TURN FROM OUR SIN, WHEN WE REPENT.

Lord, help us to obey and love You.   Amen
